Forcing House Sale

I have a strange one to raise... I have been separated for 3 years and I'm the one that lives in the family house with my two daughters. Now, I'm the one that wants to force the house sale due to my soon to be ex husband not paying his half of the mortgage or a joint loan that isn't secured on the house. He has said that if I move out (I'm planing on moving town) he wants to keep the house and rent it out to tenants. I don't want to run any sort of business with him and want to be free of the debt. Can anyone offer any advice or experience of this situation!

It's a long time since I've worked in family law but if neither of you intend to live in the former matrimonial home then I can't see a judge ordering you to retain it. Far easier to have a clean break and sell it and split assets if there are any.

Sounds like you are negotiating the financial part of the divorce package at present for the soon to be ex husband. You will be entitled to at least half the equity in the house. Is there any equity in it? If so if he cannot afford to buy out your share (he may be able to) then the house will be sold and proceeds split.

If you cannot afford to pay court fees and are on benefits then I think you can find the fees are waived .
